For more than six decades the Ojai Festival has been a leader in the world of classical music, serving as a testing ground for new works, adventuresome artists, and innovative programming. Guided by artistic director Thomas Morris, each year a different music director is given the freedom and resources to realize a unique musical vision. With its singular dedication to artistic freedom, the Ojai Festival has inspired a distinguished series of conductors, performers, and composers to push creative boundaries, stretch personal limits, and redefine the shape of new classical music.
